0715 days
“All my life, I’ve been the rebel in the X-wing fighter, and then one morning I woke up and I was on board the Death Star." -- Bobby Kotick, speaking at the DICE Summit 2010 in Las Vegas Excuse me? This douchebag took the stage at the DICE Summit and started spewing bullshit in an attempt, as Wired ...
StarCraft II Beta Live…If You Still Care
4719 days
The beta for StarCraft II began today. Or yesterday. Maybe early this morning. Honestly, I don't really care, but I suppose there are plenty of people who still do. In my humble opinion, the hype-machine started far too early for Blizzard's latest iteration of the big daddy of the modern RTS, and I ...
The PC as a “platform”

Microsoft and Sony have it easy, in a way. Xbox Live and Playstation Network are easy methods of integrating a multiplayer experience because everyone has the same operating environment, the same hardware, the same software. The PC is a different issue altogether. The PC is a platform, in a sense, but only in the respect ...
Good Advice Wrapped in Some Healthy MW2 Hating

Coming from a console player no less! While I think the term "noob" gets thrown around too much by retards who think it's actually something that will offend someone, this is an excellent video on how not to be one in Bad Company 2. Unfortunately it would appear that MW2 Syndrome has invaded the PC ...

Ok, honestly I'm not really that angry about this one, just a bit surprised. Gamesradar ran an article about the top 14 video game couples. They range from Mario/Peach to several more obscure pairings. But what surprised me wasn't what was included in the list, but rather one glaring omission: Grim Fandango's Manny and Meche. ...
Gamesradar editors don’t know their history…
4725 days
Once again, Gamesradar has displayed a complete disregard for gaming history. I find this problem to be very, very odd indeed. On the one hand, their retrospectives and articles on the early days of gaming are usually terrific, and a great throwback for those of us who can remember playing games in the '90s (and ...
Microsoft Surface helps D&D nerds
0726 days
I saw this over on Tom's Hardware initially: While I have never actually played a table-top RPG, I think this is a great display of how Surface can take something frightening and strange and make it more accessible. I hope people keep innovating with the platform, because I think it has some great potential for the ...
Co-op Gaming Cool Again?
0726 days
I don't know about you but I've missed cooperative gaming. Back when I was a kid, every other game was coop and those were, by far, my favorite. Yes, I love/loved Zelda but there was something rad about having a sleep over with your best friend and staying up all night playing contra together, despite ...

The Angry Three have just been notified by the good folks at Penny Arcade that we're all set for our media passes for the Penny Arcade Expo East 2010 in Boston (March 26 - 28). If you're unfamiliar with the event, it's best described as "a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers," ...
MAG: wave of the future or throwback to the past?
0728 days
Let me start off by saying I don't own a PS3 and I have absolutely no intention of purchasing one (even if I had the money, which I don't). However, that doesn't stop me from occassionally reading about new games for consoles, particuarly if they seem to have something new to offer. That (and the ...
